Trans People Are Older Than Christianity

Hey maybe going “haha those trans guys had to make a blue flag so people knew they weren’t girls!! They are so insecure.” as a joke isn’t that funny. Gay trans men have been denied their manhood so of course they’d do everything to try to over preform it. This is a thing talked about all the time in gay trans men spaces - being forced to deny all femininity and over preform masculinity to be somewhat accepted.

You can criticize when this over performance of masculinity and shunning of all forms of femininity becomes toxic and harmful (actually I encourage it. Any slightly feminine trans guy can tell you all about how horrible it is and trans women have talked about how this causes trans men to turn to transmisogyny to try to act like cis men. We need to do more to combat this.) but I don’t really think a flag being blue is doing that. It seems more like just mocking gay trans men trying to cope with how their manhood is denied and their femininity is shamed.

Rich Progressive: "I used to be working class. I became rich when I became an actor, singer, athlete, or something else that I got extremely lucky and could have easily failed at. Anytime I see someone who's homeless, I realize that that could have easily been me if things were just slightly different. I still have trauma from my struggles of being working class, so I want to use my privilege to speak up for others who are currently struggling."

Working Class Conservative: "Oh come on. You're rich. You can't speak for me. You have no idea what it's like for people like me who have to work multiple jobs just to feed my family. Now shut up and move out of the way so I can listen to rich people who were born rich, got richer by exploiting the working class, and openly advocate for policies that will make them richer, but who I worship because they hate the same people I do."
